27、at human food when they can get some.But in a new study, the more human food 30 female black bears ate, the less time those bears were likely to spend hibernating(冬眠）In turn,bears that hibernated less were likely to score worse in a test for aging.The new research grew out of an earlier project to s

28、ee what wild black bears across Colorado were eating, says Jonathan Pauli, a researcher from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.Another researcher Rebecca Kirby checked diets of hundreds of bears across the state when she was a Ph.D.student. She found that hunters there were not allowed to set out

29、bear bait（诱饵）。That means the animals way to get human food is mostly through finding human food themselves.When bears eat more human food, their bodies pick up higher levels of a form of carbon known as carbon-13.It comes from plants such as corn. The researcher found the telltale(报警的） form of carbo

30、n in an earlier study. They found bears in some places ate a large share of peoples leftovers(剩饭）Sometimes,these leftovers could make up more than 30 percent of a bears diets,Pauli note.In the new study,Kirby looked at the effect of diet on hibernation. Bears usually sleep for four to six months,dur

31、ing which female bears give birth. Kirby and her colleagues focused on 30 female bears around Durango, Colo. These bears were watched over by the states parks and wildlife department. The team first tested bears for carbon-13.They found the ones that ate more human-related food tended to hibernate f

32、or shorter periods.Studies on smaller animals show that hibernation may slow the aging process. If true, shortening the seasonal sleep may have an ill effect on bears. To test it, the researchers tested for relative changes in the length of telomeres(染色体端粒）。In the new study,bears that hibernated for

33、 shorter periods tended to have telomeres that shortened more quickly than those of other bears. This suggests the animals were aging faster,the team says.The bears didnt always meet Kirbys needs for several kinds of data, so she cant say there is a direct and certain connection between what bears e

34、at and aging. So far,Kirby calls the evidence suggestive.8. What does the new study show about bears?A. They have much difficulty in getting food.B. Hibernating is their best way to stay young.C. Eating human food might cause fast aging.D. They hibernate for shorter periods than before.9. What can b

37、些吃了更多与人类有关的食物的人往往冬眠时间较短以及倒数第二段“This suggests the animals were aging faster”可知，这表明这些动物衰老得更快。由此可知吃人类的食物会加速衰老，故选C。2.细节理解题。根据第三段“That means the animals way to get human food is mostly through finding human food themselves.”可知，这意味着动物获取人类食物的方式主要是通过自己寻找人类食物。故选C。3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“bears that hibernated for shor

38、ter periods tended to have telomeres that shortened more quickly than those of other bears. ”可知，冬眠时间更短的熊往往染色体更短，根据倒数第三段“They found the ones that ate more human-related food tended to hibernate for shorter periods.”可知，吃更多人类食物的熊冬眠时间更短，由此判断出吃很多人类食物的熊的染色体缩短得更快，故选C。DLike a lot of people, Ive always wante

39、d to be self-employed, but I was afraid to make the leap. Everything I had read about starting a small business suggested I should have a whole lot of money in the bank before I even considered striking out on my own. Three kids, my own college loans, and several medical mishaps(灾祸）over the years ha

40、d certainly not allowed for that.Id had jobs I liked, but somehow Id never been satisfied. Teaching school had been satisfying for about ten years,but then the brightness had faded. Jobs as a college instructor and corporate training designer had begun to become boring, too.One boring day at the off

41、ice, I made a list of all the skills Id got over the years in my jobs and as a freelancer(自由职业人）。The list was long. But I considered my dreams of self-employment an unlikely project, and the list went back in my drawer, only to appear the next time I met with difficulties in my job. As I continued t

42、o work at various tasks and learn new things on the job, my list grew.Finally,the little list stopped growing and developed instead into a business plan.One autumn evening,I showed the plan to my husband while we were out having dinner.“It looks practical,” he said.Maybe someday.”I swallowed my disa

43、ppointment.What did I think he would say?Sure,hon,go ahead.We have no money saved, but just quit your job and give this a try. The worst thing that can happen is well lose the house.”The next day I went back to work, and the list went back in my drawer.And then it happened:I got greedy.I had a perfe

44、ctly good job at a perfectly good company. A good salary. A great boss. But another perfectly good company offered me more money, more vacation time,more everything.I took on a role for which I was not fully prepared. For more than thirty years,I had been the quick learner,the independent worker, th

45、e self-starter.And here I was, in my early fifties at a new job,not able to catch on or fit in.Now what?Looking back,I realize it wasnt that I couldnt still learn just as fast as I ever had; it was that I had entered a business environment where lifelong employees had developed a climate so particul

46、ar to their company and industry that newcomers felt more like outsiders than part of the team. If I had done my homework, I would have known this was a poor move.Still,I now had to make a decision. Stay put and pretend that I“got it? Financial common sense would suggest that I do just that,no matte

47、r how much pain it gave me.But Ive never had a lot of common sense when it comes to following my heart or my head. My heart always wins.And this time my heart won in more ways than one: when I again brought out my little business plan during dinner, I was reminded just how much my husband of over th

48、irty years loves me.I believe in you, he said.More powerful words were never spoken.I began my small business, which provides editorial and design services,a few weeks later. It hasnt been easy. I found out quickly that self-employment is not equal to “flexible lifestyle.I work many more hours now t

49、han I did when in the employ of others.And money changes often. Some days are good,and some days I still search the want ads and question the wisdom of my decision.No guarantees(担保）exist that my business will continue to grow. But no guarantees exist either that another employer wouldnt fire me or t

50、hat I wouldnt find myself in a bad job situation again. I made the choice to believe in myself.And thats a risk worth taking.11. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. The author was not satisfied-with her present job.B. The three kids misbehavior has already worn the author out.C. Teaching school is

51、 still attractive to the author.D. Being a college instructor is satisfying.12. That the author repeated the sentence “The list went back in my drawer probably meansA. the author was not satisfied with the list of the technical skillsB. the author gave up her dream more than onceC. the author is det

52、ermined to work at more jobs and learn more things on the jobD. the author was disappointed about her husbands response13. From the last but one paragraph,we know the authorA. took advantage of her abilities got on her former jobs and started her own businessB. was positive that she would make a pro

53、fit for her family though it was not easyC. stuck to her dream despite no guaranteesD. finally made up her mind because she was stuck in a miserable position at her work14. What does the underlined sentence If I had done my homework,I would have known this was a poor move.mean?A. If I had already kn

54、own about this, I would not have taken the job.B. If I had done the homework,I would not have moved to a new place.C. If I could learn just as fast as I ever had,I would be able to fit in my new job.D. If I had known that newcomers would be outsiders rather than part of the team,I would quit my job.

55、15. From the story, we can conclude that the author isA. GenerousB. humorousC. sensitiveD. independent【答案】11. A 12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从为别人工作到自己创业的心路历程和人生感悟。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Id had jobs I liked, but somehow Id never been satisfied. （我曾有过我喜欢的工作，但不知怎么的，我一直不满意。）”可知，作者对目前的工作不满意。故

56、选A。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“But I considered my dreams of self-employment an unlikely project, and the list went back in my drawer, only to appear the next time I met with difficulties in my job.（但我认为自己创业的梦想不太可能实现，于是我把这份清单放回抽屉里，等到下次工作遇到困难时，它就会出现。）和第八段 “The next day I went back to work, and the list went b

57、ack in my drawer.（第二天我回去工作，清单又回到了我的抽屉里。）可知，作者多次重复这句“The list went back in my drawer（清单又回到了我的抽屉里。） 可能是作者多次放弃了自己的梦想。故选B。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“No guarantees(担保）exist that my business will continue to grow. But no guarantees exist either that another employer wouldnt fire me or that I wouldnt find myself

58、 in a bad job situation again. I made the choice to believe in myself.（没有人能保证我的业务会继续增长。但不能保证另一个雇主不会解雇我，也不能保证我不会再次陷入糟糕的工作环境。我选择了相信自己。）”可知，尽管没有保证，作者坚持自己的梦想。故选C。【14题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线句前一句“Looking back, I realize it wasnt that I couldnt still learn just as fast as I ever had; it was that I had entered a busi

59、ness environment where lifelong employees had developed a climate so particular to their company and industry that newcomers felt more like outsiders than part of the team.（现在回想起来，我意识到不是我不能像以前那样快速地学习;而是因为我进入了这样一个商业环境，在这里，终身员工已经形成了一种对他们的公司和行业非常特殊的氛围，以至于新来的员工感觉更像是局外人，而不是团队的一部分。）”可知，作者对自己以前从事的职业没有很多了解，

60、所以总是应付式地去工作；由此可推知，划线句的意思是“如果对自己的工作了解，作者就不会接受这份工作了。”故选A。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“No guarantees(担保）exist that my business will continue to grow. But no guarantees exist either that another employer wouldnt fire me or that I wouldnt find myself in a bad job situation again. I made the choice to believe in

61、myself.（没有人能保证我的业务会继续增长。但不能保证另一个雇主不会解雇我，也不能保证我不会再次陷入糟糕的工作环境。我选择了相信自己。）”可知，作者选择了自己创业，选择了相信自己。由此可推知，作者是独立的。故选D。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，10分）根据短文内容，从短文后七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What makes a book a good read? It is a great question, but theres no easy answer!_16_ There are so many styles and types of books.

62、 This is because people have different likes. For fun, go and read the 1-star Amazon reviews of your favorite popular book. Many people hate it and cant finish it! _17_Maybe, it depends on your preferences. Art is highly subjective.There are certainly many good books on writing and story structure,

F 20. D【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了要使得一本书很容易阅读并且受很多人欢迎并不容易，并介绍了几点建议。16题详解】根据上文“What makes a book a good read? It is a

67、 great question, but theres no easy answer!(什么使一本书成为好书？这是一个很好的问题，但是没有简单的答案！)”以及后文“There are so many styles and types of books. This is because people have different likes.( 书的风格和类型很多。这是因为人们有不同的喜好)”可知，上文提到什么书是好书并没有简单的答案，故此处是在说明原因，这是因为人们的爱好各不相同，即一个人感兴趣的东西对另一个人可能并不适用。故G选项“一个人感兴趣的东西对另一个人可能并不适用”符合语境，故选G。

68、【17题详解】根据上文“For fun, go and read the 1-star Amazon reviews of your favorite popular book. Many people hate it and cant finish it!(有趣的是，去亚马逊上看看你最喜欢的畅销书的一星评论。许多人讨厌它，无法读成它！)”以及后文“Maybe, it depends on your preferences.( 也许，这取决于你的喜好)”可知，上文提到畅销的书许多人却讨厌，甚至读不完，因此本句承接上文，提出疑问：这是不是意味着这些书实际上很糟糕？后文则给出了答案，上文中favo

69、rite popular book可对应到B选项中the book。故B选项“这是否意味着这本书实际上很糟糕？”符合语境，故选B。【18题详解】根据空格前面内容“its necessary to study the books you and others think are good reads(学习你和别人认为好的书籍是很有必要的)”且“ask”表明填空处应为疑问句，是在对上文要和别人学习好的书籍的行为表示疑问。故C选项“为什么要这样做？”符合语境，故选C。【19题详解】根据上文“Most serous writers have early readers who read drafts

70、and provide their opinions(大多数严谨的作家都有早期的读者，这些读者阅读草稿并提供他们的意见)”可知，本句承接上文说明，这些作者让早期读者提供意见的原因是：他们是在向真实的读者学习，且上文中Most serous writers可对应到F选项中These writers。故F选项“这些作家是在向真实的读者学习”符合语境，故选F。【20题详解】根据上文“One difficulty in writing is that it is hard to find people who can give useful opinions beyond I like it or I

71、 hate it.(写作的一个困难在于，很难找到除了“我喜欢它”或“我讨厌它”之外还能给出有用意见的人。”)” 可知很难有读者提出真正有用的意见，所以要设法找到好的建议提供者，上文中find people who can give useful opinions可对应到D选项中find good advice givers。故D选项“你必须设法找到好的建议提供者”符合语境，故选D。第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When he was 17 years old, the
